I just took time to read this edition, and to listen to the 3 Pigs comedian. His assertion that our vocabularies have diminished in the last few decades is thought provoking. I grew up reading books, and without a TV until I was around 13, so developed a love for reading, and a larger than normal vocabulary. Thanks for sharing the funny story.

You wrote about talking with a friend in the middle of the night. I appreciate you sharing this story. It reminds me that being a friend is not always convenient or comfortable. This is a true message for us all during these days of COVID. I have an old friend who is not yet 70 and he has parkinsons and dementia and is now on hospice care, and hardly knows anyone who visits him. I will sew a fidget quilt for him this weekend and take it to his care facility. He wont know, but I know that I did something to show love.

Blessings on you this week, old friend.
